While we are looking forward to a new year and a fresh start in many fronts in 2021, we should not overlook last year’s achievements in the field of science. Among them, there were many publications on the effectiveness of brain training. 57 of those published on BrainHQ exercises and assessments.
The papers included trials involving healthy adults and people with or at risk of a variety of clinical conditions – Alzheimer’s, chemo brain, conduct disorder, depression, diabetes, fetal alcohol syndrome, heart failure, mild cognitive impairment, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, stroke, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders.

Brain cell mysteries in Alzheimer’s Disease
Scientists have recently tackled one of the biggest mysteries about Alzheimer’s disease: Why does the disease affect some brain cells years before it affects others, even when those other cells are completely surrounded by Alzheimer’s cell degeneration? For other neurodegenerative diseases, like Parkinson’s, scientists already know which neurons are the first to go.
Find out what they uncovered about this previously long-running mystery here.
Unexpected link between cancer and brain injury
Brain cancer researchers at the University of Toronto and its partner institutions have made an intriguing discovery. The researchers focused on a common brain cancer known as glioblastoma. They employed new single-cell technology and machine learning to look at the relationship between brain injury, healing, and cancer.

MIND and Mediterranean diets
There is a lack of medications to prevent and delay Parkinson’s disease. However, researchers at the University of British Columbia are optimistic that evidence from their new study suggests how nutrition could potentially delay the onset of Parkinson’s disease. The study gives clues as to how specific foods and micronutrients may impact brain health.
